Cool Blocks are made of composite phenolic resin impregnated with graphite. They set closer to your blade than metal guide blocks giving a more stable and accurately guided cut. Cool Blocks eliminate friction and heat caused by metal to metal contact so blades will run smoother, cooler and far quieter than with metal block guides. Cool Blocks also help to extend the life of your bandsaw blades.
Cool Block Selection
Please check the shape and size of your existing guide blocks and compare them to the chart below to make sure you get the correct Cool Blocks for your bandsaw. If you are unsure, please call us.
Please Note: Cool Blocks are made to replace the original metal guide blocks which came with many older bandsaws. Cool Blocks are NOT designed to replace roller bearing blade guides.
